As we reach the end of the track season, a big shoutout for one of Athletics Trust Scotland's ambassadors, Joanna Robertson 👏

Joanna got into wheelchair racing through Aberdeen AAC's Para Athletics programme, which has since received funding from our charity's Transforming Lives grants.

This summer she was selected for Team Scotland at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games 💙

The legacy of Glasgow 2026 💙 We spoke to young athletes who took part in our Commonwealth Games athletics day at their local track in the East End in association with Scottish Sport Futures, Scottish Athletics and Glasgow 2026, funded by the Glasgow 2026 Festival Fund

What a Commonwealth Games for our athletics team at ! 😎

Four gold medals (our best since Edinburgh 1970) and seven medals between six athletes - half of these medallists were Para athletes!

Everyone who was inspired by our team deserves access to our sport and that's where we come in. Athletics Trust Scotland is the charity arm of Scottish Athletics and we are dedicated to ensuring everyone can participate regardless of cost, disability or other social barriers.

You can donate to us through the link on our bio or on our website! 🏴

So proud of our Para athletes at the Commonwealth Games! 😍

Amazing to see golds for Melanie Woods (so good she did it twice!) as well as our Paralympic champion Ben Sandilands, accompanied on the podium by Steven Bryce.

Athletics Trust Scotland's mission is to make athletics accessible to everyone, including disabled athletes. This includes covering costs for wheelchair parts and funding training groups.

A huge thank you to the Glasgow 2026 Festival Fund for supporting accessibility in athletics through our event held at Crownpoint Stadium in the East End this Wednesday! 🏴

We were able to bring the local track to the young people from this area, free of charge as they get ready to watch the Commonwealth Games next week!

A massive thank you to Glasgow 2026 and Glasgow Life, as well as Scottish Athletics and Scottish Sport Futures for their attendance on the day 🫶🔵⚪

A huge congratulations to Kilmarnock Harriers on another fantastic Roon the Toon 10K, which raised an amazing £1,484 for Athletics Trust Scotland during Scottish Running Week 🔵⚪️🔵

With 2,750 runners taking to the streets, this year’s event was made even more special as it celebrated its 10th anniversary.

The impact doesn’t stop there – donations were also made to the Ayrshire Athletics Partnership, helping to support disadvantaged young people and create more opportunities to get involved in athletics.

Thank you to everyone who ran, volunteered, supported and donated. Together, you’re helping change lives through sport and inspiring the next generation of athletes 🫶

Our Head of Fundraising and Development Karen Wilson and Scottish Athletics' Head of Development and Participation paid a visit to the club to thank them for their efforts
